WHO WE ARE…

BioCore is a team that develops tools for the researchers in UMMS and their collaborators.

In the last years sequencing has become the readout of choice for many assays ranging from transcriptional annotation and quantification (RNA-Seq), protein-nucleic acid interactions (ChIP and CLIP sequencing), genotyping through exome or whole genome sequencing. While allowing for unbiased, genome-wide data generation, the analysis of this data requires significant computational expertise and is often not carried out by those who generate it.

OUR MISSION…

The Bioinformatics Core mission is two-fold:

1) To evaluate, select, and implement when needed the best of breed computational solutions for the analysis of biological data.

2) To allow those who generate the data to be able to analyze it using state of the art methods by reducing the computational expertise required to apply these methods.

Upcoming Biocore Events

Seminar

Bioinformatics Core Seminar Series

Hosted By: Manuel Garber, PhD

Location: AS4-2072

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

The Bioinformatics Core Seminar Series is scheduled the second Thursday of every month at 11:00 am in AS8-2072. Speakers are invited guests and the format is an informal discussion.

The bioinformatics core hosts a data-ton (data analysis session) on Fridays from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. The format is to briefly introduce you to the available pipelines followed by analysis of your dataset. We are also providing training for our new UI Dolphin. If you would like to attend, send an email to BioCore and you will be notified of the next available date.
